Founders Associate (AI Ops & Strategy) at Apex Flux Inc (Vela) · Remote only · 1 - 6 years · ₹4L - ₹6L / yr · Raised funding · Remote only · Posted 10 Feb 2026

Location: Remote Timeline: Immediate Hiring Schedule: US Time Zone (Night Shift) | 6 Days a Week | High Intensity Role Type: Full-Time / Contract
The Opportunity
We are an AI-first company looking for a Founders Associate who thrives in high-pressure, high-speed environments. This is not a standard operational role. You will be the human intelligence layer ensuring our AI delivers perfection, while simultaneously acting as the right hand to the founders.
This role requires extreme availability, agility, and a "no task too small, no challenge too big" mentality. You will toggle instantly between verifying complex AI outputs and executing high-level growth strategies or personal administrative tasks.
Core Responsibilities
1. AI Monitoring & Rapid Response (Primary Priority)
● Human-in-the-Loop Verification: Act as the final checkpoint for the AI. Review outputs for accuracy, logic, tone, and clarity before they reach the user.
● 60-Second Response Time: You are required to respond to incoming messages and AI flags within 60 seconds. Speed is critical to delivering the best customer need.
● Error Detection: Identify inconsistencies, edge cases, or hallucinations in real-time and correct them immediately.
2. Founder Support & Generalist Execution
● Operational Agility: In downtime between AI monitoring, you will clear the founders' plates. This ranges from scheduling and personal administrative tasks to drafting internal documentation.
● Growth & Strategy: assist with high-level business functions, including marketing strategy, user acquisition research, and competitive analysis.
● Ad-Hoc Execution: Execute whatever is needed to keep the company moving fast. If a fire breaks out, you put it out.
The Schedule & Expectations
● US Time Zone Alignment: You will work completely on US hours.
● High Volume & Duration: This is a demanding role. Expect very long days, six days a week.
● Intensity: This is an execution-driven environment. We value speed and reliability over perfectionism.
Who You Are
● Hyper-Responsive: You are always online during your shift. A 60-second delay is too long.
● Detail-Obsessed: You spot typos, logic gaps, and errors that others miss.
● High Agency: You don't wait for instructions. If you see a problem, you fix it. If you have downtime, you ask for more work.
● Trustworthy: You will handle confidential proprietary information and personal founder data. Discretion is non-negotiable.
Our Values
● Move Fast: Shipping today beats perfect tomorrow.
● Ownership: No task is "not my job."
● Bias to Action: Do first, refine later.
● Continuous Improvement: Aim to be better every day.
